URITY 



The best and most salable Freesia in the American and European markets. Our stock of this 

 now popular and famous Freesia is the largest in this country. We have bulbs that have been grown 

 under glass (the illustration shows one of our houses), also bulbs grown by the originator, R. Fischer. 

 Both of these stocks are the true Parity stock, from which we receive our bulbs. The very highest 

 quality is guaranteed. The demand for this variety in all the wholesale markets is persistent and 

 universal. Its popularity is undiminished; practically it has no competitor.

\Vhile the league meetings in the past 

 have been generally held four or five

 nx three dates for stated meetings, these 

 dates being decided upon as the first 

 Wednesday in October, the last Tuesday 

 x^ ^^^^Piber, and the first Wednesday in 

 May, special meetings to be held at 

 any time at the call of the president.

TRANSPARENT PACKETS. 



Can you advise us as to the latest ruling 

 of the Post-office Department in reference 

 to the rate and classification for seeds in 

 sealed packages, such as packets, ounce 

 packets, etc.? We understand that there 

 is to be in effect July 1 a requirement 

 that seeds shall be in transparent pack- 

 ets if mailed at the rate of 1 cent for 

 each two ounces. B. S. C. 



The Post-office Department, through 

 local postmasters where there are seed 

 houses, has notified the trade that after 

 July 1 sealed packets of seeds will pay 

 first claps rates of postage, except where 

 the packet is sufficiently transparent to 

 show the contents clearly. The depart- 

 ment's circular advises seedsmen that 

 they should submit samples of the en- 



velopes they propose using for the ap- 

 proval of the local postmaster before 

 ordering in quantity. 



You should have received this notifica- 

 tion from your local postmaster, and if 

 you have not received it you doubtless 

 will be supplied with a copy of the no- 

 tice upon application at your post-office. 



KENTIA PALM SEEDS. 



Word comes from Sydney that kt a 

 recent meeting of the Australian Nursery 

 Association a warm discussion took place 

 on the recent rise in prices of Kentia 

 seeds. Mr. Cheeseman, a member of the 

 association, moved: "That this confer-

 arrangement made by the New South 

 Wales state officials for the distribution
